Beautiful Sorta by Sandy (PG)

Fandom: SPORTS NIGHT
Pairing: Dan/Dana implied
Author on LJ: circusgirl
Author Website: Hotel Gypsy
Why this must be read:

One of the most frustrating things about reccing Sports Night is the fact that a lot of the really good fic that came out of the fandom's heyday about six years ago is trapped in the basement of the now defunct trickster website. I've got a whole bunch of fics saved to my hard drive that I cannot find anywhere online any more, and even the Wayback Machine is of little use when all I've got is an author and title and no URL.

This then leads me to my latest rec. I started out scouring the internet for a couple of fics that I know are posted to the yahoo group slashsn, but of little use to anyone who isn't a member. Having failed in that particular quest I moved on to another story that I've always loved, but was despairing of ever finding a link for. But fate does sometimes smile upon the weary internet trawler, and not only have I found the story I wanted to rec in the first place, I have also stumbled across an even better one by the same author, which I now present to you.

Danny, as always, does such good angst, and Sandy (who previously wrote as Jess) allows us a little glimpse inside his mind as he tries to make sense of what life has given him and the people he meets along the way. It's short and, well, melancholy, and a very wonderful read.
